Thank you, gents. That did the trick.
It also required a new terminal session to launch - launching from the
same shell used to build the application gave a ton of error
messages. Haven't looked into why, as I'm happy it works.
Many thanks

When I try to run gnucash from a terminal window, the X11
application launches. Then the terminal gives the following output

Uh, help?

That version of gnucash is old, and has probably fallen out of sync
with the listed dependencies. Gnucash 2 works ; but you're going to
need a couple of updates to your Fink setup. Running the following
two commands ought to get you to where you can install gnucash2:
fink selfupdate
--followed by--
fink selfupdate-rsync
The first "selfupdate" will get you a newer "fink" tool that is able
to use the rsync method to get source package descriptions--this was
initially turned off for 10.5.
After you've done this, you can run
fink install gnucash2
and get a more recent gnucash to use.
